A Toddler's Joy Over Gulf Islands National Seashore

Waves crashed on the sandy shore of Santa Rosa Sound, wind whipping off the water and flinging my hair in all directions.

Western National Parks Broiling Under Heat Wave

A brutal heat wave, coupled with a long-running drought, has many national parks in the Western half of the country enduring broiling temperatures and increased fire danger.

The Overlooked Promise Of The National Trails System

When we think about the National Park System, we don't always think of National Scenic Trails being part of the system, which is a huge mistake. Some of the country's greatest hiking trails are part of the system. Trails such as the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, the North Country National Scenic Trail, even the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail.
